ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring and cybersecurity application that provides real-time visibility into hosts, applications, and flows. It supports NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, SNMP, and eBPF, and offers bandwidth monitoring, observability, and threat detection from a single console.

Use cases

  • monitor network bandwidth in real time
  • detect data exfiltration and lateral movement
  • analyze NetFlow and sFlow data
  • troubleshoot network latency and packet loss
  • monitor hosts and applications on my network
  • export enriched flow data to a SIEM
  • track user and device activity network-wide

When to choose

  • you need a self-hosted web UI for real-time traffic analysis
  • you want flow-based monitoring with NetFlow/sFlow/IPFIX support
  • you need threat detection and behavioral checks alongside traffic monitoring
  • you run firewalls like pfSense/OPNsense and want integrated traffic visibility

When to avoid

  • you only need simple uptime or service health checks rather than traffic analysis
  • you need full packet capture and long-term storage without additional ntop products
  • you require a lightweight agentless solution on hosts rather than network-level monitoring
